I don't even remember when the last Thankful Thursday post was but I suppose it just goes to show how undedicated I am. That definitely does not mean I haven't been thankful. There is just so much to be thankful for in life and it's such a challenge to pinpoint every single one but that doesn't stop me from giving thanks. 😊 Although it's Friday today, I meant for this post to be released yesterday to coincide with the meaning of the title so despite being a day late, I'm gonna keep the title nonetheless. 😅 This week has been extremely, tremendously fun. 🙆 I made time to meet up with some of my long-time-no-see friends and that really made me happy. 😌 Monday began slightly early as I headed out for lunch with Mel and Rachel. It was supposed to be a meet-up with friends from my Korean class but Gekhooi was working that morning and Lynette had driving lesson at 4:30PM so both of them couldn't make it for lunch in town. The 3 of us went to Seoul G...

Celebratory post because the first week of school is over!!! -throws confetti- -raises pompoms- -pops champagne- But of course, the worst is yet to come and I've to keep my head up while mentally reminding myself that there is still 12 weeks left till I'm done with the semester. Nothing really happened during the week though. Although most of my lectures already began, it wasn't as demanding as it will be in the coming weeks. I had a taste of what 3 of my modules are going to be like and if it continues this way, I'll be more than just contented. Still, docu-writing classes only begin next week. Looking through the syllabus, I know for sure it's gonna be one hell of a module. Weekly discussions, in-class assignments, final project; I cannot say with confidence this module will be a smooth ride. All I'm hoping for the best. Tutorials for my Korean language class also begins next week. Hooray because I'll be starting on level 3, which would ...

It is Monday all over again although Monday is about to end in a couple of hours' time. I promised myself last week that I shall not schedule anything for this week primarily because I was looking to energise myself. For that, I always find disconnecting myself from the rest of the world works well in helping me get back on track. Unfortunately, there was reason to leave the house this morning. For some reason, I couldn't sleep past 9 o'clock and found myself wide awake unlike other mornings. I'd usually laze in bed, roll around for as long as I can, but this morning was definitely different. First thing I did when I got out of bed was to look for my baby boy, where he emerged from my brother's room. So I snuggled up to him on the floor but he made a different choice. He decides he feels better on my room floor. Can only imagine how upset he was when I closed the door on him at 1AM last night because he kept walking in and out of the room and we h...

Been looking forward to today since some time last week and so glad everything went well! I've been meaning to ask Angel out for a long time after she attended my birthday party because I never really got to be a good host to her (or anyone else actually) but I hesitated for a long time as I wasn't sure if it was the right move to make. Nonetheless, the mini me inside my head kept screaming for me to make the move and with 5 seconds of insane courage, I did. I honestly wasn't expecting anything but I was more than just delighted she agreed to meet me today. :') So Angel suggested Artistry , a cafe conveniently located on Jln Pinang street. And, boy, the food was so good. I had my go with their eggs on toast  for $10 and I'd say its money well-spent on finely cooked eggs and delicious sautéed mushrooms + spinach. The mushrooms were so, so, so good! More importantly, it was a filling meal for a much more reasonable price (compared to other cafes I've been ...

Been looking forward to this day since last Friday and am so glad everything turned out perfect. :') Today! I met up with Harshini, someone I've known since I was in pre-school but was never really close to apart from the fact that we live in the same block, and we visited Grub  nestled in Bishan Park for the first time. Before anything, here's what we ordered: Yuzu Mint Soda - $4.50 This is part of their grubber's favourites and I was just honestly curious. Anyway, what this really tastes like is a mix of soda, lime and mint leaves so you've got a refreshing mix there. It was a good companion with the main I had. Mentaiko Fries - $9 I was initially hesitant about this but it don't taste too bad. I still have no clue why they added seaweed though. Fries coupled with mentaiko sauce is a pretty fine combination, only that the sauce was a little too much  for me to handle after a while. Well, $9 is considered decent for mentaiko sauce. ...

First, you think the worst is a broken heart. What's gonna kill you is the second part. And the third is when your world splits down the middle. Fourth, you're gonna think you fixed yourself. Fifth, you see them with someone else. And the sixth, is when you admit you may have messed up a little. Today's #ootd featuring a checkered box top I bought from some retail store at Bugis Junction paired with my all-time favourite trumpet skirt in black from G200 . (I bought one in a dark shade of orange because it was on sale.) Suppose I decided to add a little bit of colour so I wore my Reebok Skyscape and carried my patchwork backpack from Cath Kidston . Also, bun-up hair for the unbearable weather. Sported a cute ribbon hair tie I bought from Helen , which you can't see from here. When I first donned the whole outfit, I thought somewhere didn't fit. It felt... strange , something just felt so out of place but I couldn't put the word to it so I decide...

Feeling really excited because my new Macbaby will arrive any moment now and although I intended to update the site with my new MacBook, it seems I can't contain all the excitement after all because so many good things are going to happen in the coming weeks! But first off, as materialistic as this may make me sound, I did a little  shopping the last few days and that made me super happy! Such a rewarding feeling it is when I buy things for myself, using my own hard-earned money. ☺ But the items are bought are all on pre-order so they'll take another 2-3 weeks to arrive. I used to run an insta-shop as well and never knew how people felt when they had to wait 3 weeks for their items to reach them. Now I know, but it's not an entirely bad feeling! I'll probably forget I even placed my orders and when they arrive in my mailbox, I'll be so thrilled because it's gonna be such a pleasant surprise! These are the things I bought (all from insta-shops): ...

Recently listened to Tablo's cover of Taeyang's Eyes, Nose, Lips  and I fell in love with the beautiful & meaningful lyrics. AKMU also covered the same song. Love the soothing voices coupled with perfect harmony. This justifies why I'm a YG-stan. Can you feel the YG-family loveeeeeeeee? ت ~~~~~~~~~~ I realize I've been staying home the last couple of days and while I like staying at home (because I don't have to spend money), it can get really boring as well. ☹ I mean, there's only so much  I can do at home - watch dramas, sleep, watch more dramas, eat, bathe, eat some more. You get what I mean. Thankfully, I got to head out yesterday even though I was just running an errand for Mama at Northpoint. ☺ Mandatory outfit shot of what I wore: Sundress from MDS - $29.90 Sandals from Havanas Watch from Fossil Uploaded a different version on my Instagram . ت I wanted to share that version here as well but I didn't transfer ...

Just woke up from a nap and my fingers are feeling slightly numb so I'm facing some difficulty trying to update this site but today has been a wonderful day and good things are always worth sharing. ;-) After ions, we finally met up with Sandy and her 2 kids! I believe the last time I saw her was some time last year when we went to Botanic Gardens for a picnic so I was really, really glad I got to see the children today. :-) Kids grow so fast when you're not looking but I cannot express how happy I was when they ran into our arms today. :') At least they no longer shy away from us and they still recognize us! We couldn't decide what to eat so we left Jayden to make the final call and he wanted noodles so I suggested we try NamNam Noodle Bar  since we've never eaten there before. All was going good until I saw the menu and realize they serve mainly (but not only) pork and beef. By now y'all might have realized that I do not eat pork or beef so I had limited...
